All Activity

At least they have a proactive (very active) approach to their club, can question their patience, but at least they care. Comprare and contrast to whatever our ‘custodians’ are supposed to be.

I'll have to think about that. There's the Cherry Tree, Byatts Brewhouse (Lythalls Lane) and the Wheatsheaf but I'm not sure away fans are allowed in. I haven't lived in that area for years. Apparently the Longford Engine on Longford Road is open to away fans. Longford Road has a few pubs on it but some might be a bit ropey.

Starts this weekend for O'Riordan - score/update - live on Sky Sports + Edmondson - score/update Wood - score/update On the bench Barrett - score/update - live on Sky Sports + Pratt - score/update Farkas - score/update Not involved in matchday squad - TBA - kick off 5:30pm Olson & O'Grady-Macken - score/update - live on Sky Sports + No game this weekend Duru

By contrast we've given managers bucket loads of time - Bowyer got 2 years+, Mowbray 5 years +, JDT and Eustace would have had as long as they wanted if they had been willing to stick around and put up with it. And we've got nowhere. They've been to the PL, stayed there and got to the FA Cup final. Not bad for a small club. 'Strange and weird' may well be a fair description for their owners. Still it beats disgraceful, lying, club wrecking which we've got here yet you seem content not to criticise.

I'll have to draw the line at some point Waggy 😉

I'd say we Spain and France have the best depth. But they don't have any decent forwards. I'd say we're slightly better depth wise than them

Ultimately, if Tuchel wins the thing without picking his best players, then sound. If not, why on earth would you have taken that risk?

Youve got a combination of poorer groups, and even with them, when 2/3 of the teams qualify, youve got to do well not to qualify anyway. Id even prefer a 32 team euro and 64 team world cup compared to the sham we have now. But it should be 16 and 32.

Foden is better than Rogers though. And the latter hasnt even been in good club form.

I wish we had their owners. Much better than ours.

I dont know how you have concluded that from what I said.

I have a feeling he will be the dingles next manager , when Parker gets potted around New Year !

Foden isnt the left sided attacking player. Foden is a 10 and competition is Bellingham and Palmer. I would both of them before Foden sadly. My opinion and the fact we need a ball controller in there. Whether Tuchel will is a seperate discussion 😉

Maybe if they actually give one a chance and full season they might actually get somewhere. They sacked Rob Edwards far too early yet he took Luton to PL and Boro up there this season They are 11th and in the last 3 games, won 2 drew 1. Yet sacked him. Very strange and weird ownership

An even better performance against Wales, although the opposition froze on the night for me. I felt for Bellamy, who is still the best player since Shearer to pull on the famous Blue n White in my book, even with those dingle links. Onwards and Upwards.

100% - particularly for the Euros where there are so few real quality teams - when you’re getting down in the 20s the standard is pretty poor. Look at these belters back when it was set up better…

Foden is better than Gordon, by some way. I’m not interested in who Tuchel is more likely to pick, that’s a separate discussion. What makes you think Wharton will be picked, when he hasn’t been picked so far?

Spain have entered the chat.

I would gone to Stanley today but instead we all going out for family meal. I fully understand your point and its valid one. Tho I have watched Blackpool and Salford City when on So i take you will be off to watch a game of football today?

Yet we watch Rovers every week 😂 glutton for punishment

Do Foden even make the squad? That's debatable. Rice, Anderson, Henderson, Rogers, Bellingham, Palmer all going. Probably Wharton. Gordon and Rashford are your left sided options with Saka and Madueke on the right. 3 strikers. Kane, Watkins then either Delap or Solanke. Maybe even Welbeck.

Wonder if anyone will take a punt on Tom Lockyer; not played in 2 years since his cardiac arrest and released by league one Luton, currently training with Bristol Rovers. will he play a game before Moussa Baradji?

Some shifting probably equates to arguably the best 2 wingers in the world.

With half the clubs owned by Americans and their wholly unromantic view of clubs as US sport franchise-style revenue generators it’s only a matter of time.

I've watched Barcelona every week. Rashford will take some shifting. He's been phenomenal
